Vanson Streamliner Heated Vest; $160;
www.vansonleathers.com

If you ride a motorcycle, this vest is a godsend. I live in Washington, D.C., which means riding got very cold come wintertime--until I found Vanson's heated vest. The Streamliner is made with Dupont ComforMax nylon to protect against wind and has built-in heating elements to keep you toasty. A cord attached to the vest plugs into my motorcycle's 12-volt battery plug to keep the heat flowing. Depending on the weather, you can wear the vest alone, but I usually layer mine under a leather jacket for extra warmth. Either way, it's amazing how comfortable the rest of your body feels when you don't have to worry about warming your core--on a 45-degree day, it's almost like riding in summertime. Now, if only Vanson offered a gizmo to prevent helmet hair.
